The IOWA EvIcTIoNs.


How the House Can Improve it, Already
Splendid Land Record.
The English evictions in Iowa are II
some respects worse than those in Ire
land. In the latter there i plausible
claim that the tenant has forfeited his
rights by non-payment Of rent, though
the rent is so cxorbtant under the cir
cumstances rs to deprive the claim Of
Justice. In Iowa the evictcd are peaceful
settlers, who took possession Of their
holdings and erected dwellings on
them upon tho declaration Of the In
terror Department that the lands
should be opened to settlement The
claimants who are doing the eviction
act are assignces Of railroad company
which never earned its grant
The latter ought to have been for
feited long ago, and there Is every
reason to believe that the Interior De-
partmcnt regarded It as forfeited. The
Democratic House this winter can i'm
prove its land record, which Is already
| splendid one, by looking into this
matter and protecting the honest set
tiers against the inheritors Of arailroad
robbery.
Whether a Republican Senate can b.
depended on to aid in the good worl
is doubtful. That body has shown u
self exceedingly unwilling to interfere
with the railroad monopolists and thei
assignces. Perhaps II is afraid o
arousing the wrath Of the magnate
and unlocsing their tongues, which
were tied up so tight in the reccn
investigation. Detroit Free Press.
